Is anyone using this? I was wondering what people have experienced with it?
Thank You,
Megan

I take it per the recommendation of my LLMD. I started it last July. I take 500 mg. a day.
It is difficult to say if this specifically is doing anything since I started several new supplements at the same time.
It does not upset my stomach, no side-effects. Hopefully it is helping with mitochondrial function. It sure isn't enhancing my memory. I don't have neuropathic pain so I can't comment on that aspect.

I take it (my carnitine was really low). I take so many things though, it's hard to know which one or combo are making me feel better.

Ok, thank you both! I know what you mean very difficult to comment on what makes you feel better, I know I feel better than i used too but hard to say whats doing it!
I read somewhere to take 500mg - 1000mg 3 times a day does this sound like too much?
Catgirl, how did you find out your carnitine was low?

it is part of my mito protocol
i also take coq10, fish oil, lipoic acid and a bunch of specific B vits
i know my mito sx (leg cramps-very specific-never had them b4 lipitor) are much better when i am on the protocol
i am also supposed to take creatine but i only take a tiny bit compared to what they tell you to take

I felt horrible a few months ago, so my doc ran a few tests and noticed it was really low. I was detoxing (or attempting to) heavy metals back then. I think it messed up my minerals, which messed up my ability to absorb carnitine. The minerals are tricky and not readily fixed with supplementation. I'm beginning to learn there's an art to it (journaling/reactions).
